Tetsu Sendagaya

Tetsu Sendagaya (千駄ヶ谷 鉄 Sendagaya Tetsu) is the Eve of Old Child, the Servamp of Pride. He works at a family-owned hot springs resort.

Appearance
Although he is only 14, he is often mistaken for a university student because of his great stature and muscular figure. He has blonde hair, with two blue clips one either side of his face, and blue eyes. His usually seen wearing white pants, a dark blue singlet, a white vest and a white and blue scarf with the hiragana for 'yu' (ゆ) on it. He is also usually seen carrying his lead, a large black coffin with an advertisement for his family's hot spring resort painted on it.

Personality
Tetsu is relaxed, straightforward, and simple minded. He is absurdly strong which makes up for the fact that he is admittedly not very bright. He seems very calm and indifferent with anything related to the servamps. He does not try to hide the fact that he is involved with vampires, as he carries his coffin around out in the open. Tetsu is very honest and sometimes unintentionally insults others because of this. He is friendly around others and is quick to call them his friend, often to their slight embarrassment at the affectionate title.

Contract with Old Child
Tetsu first met Old Child when the vampire visited Tetsu's family hot spring after smelling Tetsu's blood. Mistaking him as a customer, Tetsu offers the vampire a room to stay with the best sun view. When Old Child protested since a vampire like himself can't stand sunlight, Tetsu blocked the window, much to his father's dismay. Sometimes afterwards, Old Child chose him to be his eve, which Tetsu accepted and named him Hugh.

Meeting Mahiru and Kuro
While doing an errand at a summer festival, he forgot where he place his Lead with Hugh sleeping inside it (in the anime, he doesn't lost his coffin but instead only got separated from Hugh). He meets Mahiru who offered to help him look. When being asked what he was looking for, Tetsu nonchalantly answered that he is looking for a coffin with a vampire inside it, shocking Mahiru. Both are interrupted by a bomb explosion, and when hearing the bomb is from a silver case similar with the one Mahiru was carrying, Tetsu questions is Mahiru a bomber, which Mahiru denies. Mahiru then decides to trust, expressing his simplicity which Tetsu thinks is a good way of thinking. He is quite surprised when Kuro appears and drinks Mahiru's blood as both jump away from the crowds, recognising Kuro as a servamp. When the bomb fell too quickly, Tetsu caught the bomb into his coffin that he finally found, preventing the bomb from exploding outside. He then introduces himself to Mahiru and Kuro before Hugh comes out from the coffin, injured from the bomb explosion. Both continues their talk at Mahiru's apartment where Tetsu and Hugh explained their first meeting, though both are quickly got distracted by a soccer game airing on TV. Nevertheless, the four of them agrees to fight against Tsubaki together, knowing how dangerous he is (in the anime, their discussion takes place at a building rooftop).

Training with Mahiru and Jeje
Mahiru then invites Tetsu and Hugh to his training with Mikuni and Jeje. Tetsu doesn't make a good impression for Mikuni when he picks up Mikuni's doll, Abel, out of innocent curiosity, earning him a quick dislike from Mikuni who calls him a ruffian as the result. Mikuni then gives their first training: removes all of Jeje's masks and exposes his true face, much to Jeje's dismay. While Mahiru doesn't do well against Jeje, Tetsu's strength and his mastery using his Lead able to make Jeje goes into offensive, prompting Tetsu to defend himself and Mahiru from Jeje's attack using his coffin. Tetsu successfully removes all of Jeje's masks after Hugh gives him permission to use his full power. The next night, Mahiru invites Tetsu again to train with Mikuni, this time also inviting Misono. Due to Misono's short stature, Tetsu mistakes him as an elementary school student, angering Misono. Their training ends after Misono tries to attack Mikuni for unknown reason and they instead gathers at family restaurant to discuss their next move regarding Tsubaki.

A few days afterwards, Tetsu and Hugh are patrolling while exterminates the djinns that he encounters.
